on the atlatle its self,the tip the dart sits on.
what kind of angle do you put it on at?
how long should an atlatle itself be and the dart?
i have i nice fat long piece of red osier drying,on my bathrom scale it comes in at about 10# just as it starts to bend.i plan on using it for a dart.
just need to mke the atlatl part now.

got some switch cane for darts does the heavy end go to the front ??
part Cherokee:
Hey sailor my atlatl is 21" ,most of the ones ive seen have been 19"-23" long.
My darts are about 6' in length but i use cane for my darts not red osier.
I have seen darts as short as 4' and as long as 7'6". Play with it and see whats best for you.
The spur angle i used is about 45 degrees and seems to work fine.
Yes the big end of the cane goes first Ken just like on an arrow.
